Housework

White wine vinegar and bicarb are really all the basics one needs to clean household surfaces.



immerse citrus peels in vinegar on a sunny window sill for a minimum of 2 weeks before use.  (Be sure to use only the peel, make sure there is no fruit flesh in the mix, as it makes everything sticky!)

I just take what vinegar solution measure I require and leave the peels in the vinegar because my window sill isn't sunny.  But as they get mushy and start to 'fall apart' a bit, strain out these mushy peels and collect in a separate  jar.  When bicarb is added to this it makes a great effervescent scrub to clean more stubborn stains.  

For a great all purpose cleaner: 
dilute 3 or 4 parts water: 1 part citrus vinegar solution in a saved cleaning bottle ~ nice fragrant cleaner :)
